Is there a way to list all storages/streams with full paths?

[Sonic-The-Hedgehog-LNK1123]

I need to enumerate all the storages and streams recursively, but when using CFStorage.VisitEntries(action, true) I can only get the name property, but then I've no way of knowing to what storage the substorage or stream belongs to!

I want to get from this:

(Root)
|
+---UserForm1
|   |
|   +---o
|   |
|   +---f
|   |
|   +---CompObj
|   |
|   \---VBFrame
|
+---VBA
|   |
|   +---UserForm1
|   |
|   +---dir
|   |
|   +---ThisDocument
|   |
|   \---_VBA_PROJECT
|
+---PROJECT
|
\---PROJECTwm

to this:

UserForm1\o
UserForm1\f
UserForm1\CompObj
UserForm1\VBFrame
VBA\UserForm1
VBA\dir
VBA\ThisDocument
VBA\_VBA_PROJECT
PROJECT
PROJECTwm

This is probably what #63 meant as well, but that is unclear.

@Sonic-The-Hedgehog-LNK1123 , currently there is no such feature. You should customize VisitEntries method to add a "path" parameter in recursive section of the visitor. Anyway this is an enhancement I will include in a next release.
If you find a solution, please feel free to open a pull request for integration.
Thank you,

Has there been any progress made on this? It's essential for an application I'm working on to know what storage each stream originated from.

I noticed that in the Structured Storage Explorer, it does this by calling VisitEntries(action, false), and then recursing inside the action. See MainForm.AddNodes(). Is that a safe workaround?

What about being able to retrieve the filename over the root? I haven't found a way to do it.

@Sonic-The-Hedgehog-LNK1123 @farfilli Better late than never... I've added a Path property to the EntryInfo in the v3.0 proof of concept:

Is this sufficient for your purposes?

[farfilli]

My problem was accessing the file stream name, which was a non-public property and I have fixed it through reflections
It seems on V3 to be public, but I still can't access it directly.

Should it be shown as non-public as it was previously?

[jeremy-visionaid]

@farfilli v3 is based around abstract streams, so it's not necessarily tied to a file. However, I've added a property to expose the base Stream and you can use pattern matching from there to get the file name if the base stream is a FileStream. e.g.

        string? fileName = (rootStorage.BaseStream is FileStream fileStream) ? fileStream.Name : null;

Otherwise, I think it would be up to the developer to store the filename separately.

@farfilli I'll close this one as fixed by #194 . Please go ahead and open a new issue though if the above is not sufficient for your case.
